Donauturm - Vienna

[NintendoMaster128 30]

I got bored with my Stratosphere for a while, a little frustration and stuff, so I just started this one. This is about an hour of work.

I just need to add some textures and stuff, and give it some life in the nite and it should be done!  I give it a week.

[NintendoMaster128 30]

I think  I should just build towers, haha.  I have Stratosphere, now Donauturm!  This is fun!

Lookin good

I love Towers, I figure I'm just going to make them from now one.  Next I was thinking about the Barcelona Tower or Ostankino.

[NintendoMaster128 30]

All in a day's work.

not bad tower builder

[NintendoMaster128 30]

Here is the final shot of the day, I should finish it by tomorrow if i play my cards right, just some better textures, the bunjee (sp) jumping platform, and nitelites, I've been playing with them, and I honestly think this will come out before Friday.  The picture below is high quality, it took about 2 minutes to preview on high.

I agree

[NintendoMaster128 30]

Well this tower is safe, I found that I had e-mailed it to myself, damned hackers!

cool. when i look out of the window at school i see this tower...

[NintendoMaster128 30]

This Tower is being BATted to commemorate the entire city of Vienna and it's populous!  I've always loved this tower, but Vienna seems like it is ignored in the BAT world!  Always London, Paris, in the EuroBATs, but never Vienna!

Poor Vienna, and Happy Thanksgiving to all

[NintendoMaster128 30]

Here it is as of yesterday, but I have done some more updates on it, since Simtropolis has been down the past few days I haven't bothered to take new pictures.

This is the North View:

The tower is looking great. The detail work you have done really adds a lot to the building. Keep it up

....and stratosphere is 75.214% complete? feeling awful precise aren't we

[crazyarchitect 7]

WOW, the tower has really come along, looks awesome

[frogface 352]

its looking great

[Simbourgeois 139]

Yeah, Vienna is really ignored in BAT world... But there're so many great buildings, let us mention only the magnificent Hunterwasser house - it's weird, but I like it  And I'm even not talking about all the Art Nouveau and other great 'old' buildings.

But this one is really great, looks so realistic

This really should be done by now, but I'm having an extremely difficult time finding a picture of the base of the building.  If anyone can help me out, I'll love you forever!

There is this building beside it, but the tower itself does not have a special base

[panthersimcity4 162]

That is an awesome lot, nintendo! I NEED it!

Looking good, looking good

@ pitch

this isn't correct! The Tower has its own bungee base. How old are these photos? I think very old...

@ NintendoMaster128
very nice building! If you have time and you like to, please construct more BATs from Vienna! You're right, there's always Paris, London, Madrid and so on. But never Vienna.

What I also wanted to say: The red sign on the top of the tower - it's not really correct. It's the sign of the Bank Austria. On the Page of Bank Austria Creditanstalt you can see the symbol (up left). Thats not really important, but I want to say it to you

P.S.: Here you have two Photos of the Donauturm. As you can see: there is a Bungee Base....

EDIT: maybe you like to build the Millenium Tower? I saw a Building at simcitycentral, which is called 21st Media Center. It still looks like the Millenium Tower but the textures are not very good. If you wanna made it....
Here are some Photos of it (Made from Donauturm)

we are talking about the base of the tower, not the bungeebase. The base means, the part where the tower touche the ground

[michi5 0]

oh sorry.

I don't know if theres a base. I have sooo much photos here, but there no ones of the base i think...
